Well- I went and did it. Moved into the 21st century. My husband and I
decided up upgrade put internet service from dialup to fiber optic.
Eventually our ATT account will go away but it is still active at present
and I'll be accessing Clayart from it. As part of the new verizon service
we get 10MB of web hosting at no cost so I started seeing what I could do in
that space. With some trepidation I put it out to the list to see what you
think. http://mysite.verizon.net/zephyrpottery/

Zephyr Pottery....1/2 way out Long Island where I needed to cover the new
growth on the rose bushes because of the freezing temperatures on Saturday
night.... much better today!

Hi Marcie,

Nice job! Crisp, clean, quick loading and attractive. Who'da thunk it's your
first go? :-)
You have the basis of a nice site to document your path in pottery. Before
you know it you will be looking at shopping cart add-ons and other fancy
additions - but be warned websites (like clay) can become addictive.

To go that next step towards a professional look you may want to consider
registering your own domain name. Something like www.zephyrpottery.com has a
much better look than the current http://mysite.verizon.net/zephyrpottery/
and is quite cheap to register and host if you are prepared to do the site
design and management yourself.

Congratulations on the new site and good luck with future developments.

Cheers,
